Wainwright's Best Yet?,
By Donald C. Wall (Cheney, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All on a Summer's Day (Mass Market Paperback)
John Wainwright, ex-Yorkshire cop, has written over 70 tremendously varied crime novels. This one attempts to portray all the facets of police work in a 24-hour period, from multiple viewpoints: street cops, ranking police officers, victims, crooks, and families of all. There are over thirty "main" characters, but they are so sharply individualized that one always knows who's who at any time. There are several plot strands, carefully distributed, and a catastrophic, very satisfying climax. Wainwright brings all his characters alive with no wasted words. This book has it all: complex and varied characters, logical and interesting plot, excellent pacing, well-portrayed Yorkshire village life, humor, and wisdom. A fine novel!
